The beam energy measurement system for the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider is described. The method of Compton backscattering of CO laser photons on the electron beam is used. The relative ...systematic uncertainty of the beam energy determination is estimated as 610 super(-5). It was obtained through comparison of the results of the beam energy measurements using the Compton backscattering and resonance depolarization methods.
A new approach to search for and measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the proton, deuteron and some other light nuclei is presented. The idea of the method is to store two ion beams, ...circulating with different velocities, in a storage ring with crossed electric and magnetic guiding fields. One beam is polarized and its EDM is measured using the so-called 'frozen spin' method. The second beam, which is unpolarized, is used as a co-magnetometer, sensitive to the radial component of the ring's magnetic field. The particle's magnetic dipole moment (MDM) couples to the radial magnetic field and mimics the EDM signal. Measuring the relative vertical orbit separation of the two beams, caused by the presence of the radial magnetic field, one can control the unwanted MDM spin precession. Examples of the parameters for EDM storage rings for protons and other species of ions are presented. The use of crossed electric and magnetic fields helps to reduce the size of the ring by a factor of 10-20. We show that the bending radius of such an EDM storage ring could be about 2-3 m. Finally, a new method of increasing the spin coherence time, the so-called 'spin wheel', is proposed and its applicability to the EDM search is discussed.

Interlayer exchange coupling in strong/weak/strong ferromagnetic multilayers is investigated as a function of external magnetic field and temperature, with the focus on the magnetization switching ...near the Curie transition in the spacer composed of a diluted ferromagnet of concentration paramagnetic in the bulk. The effect of an externally applied reversing magnetic field on the width of the thermomagnetic transition is studied experimentally and explained theoretically as a result of the interplay between the proximity-induced exchange and the Zeeman effects in the system. Of high potential for applications should be the ability to switch one of the ferromagnetic outer layers using magnetic field, temperature, or a combination of the two.

The process e+e−→K+K− has been studied using 1.7×106 events from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector in the center-of-mass energy ...range 1010–1060 MeV. The cross section is measured with about 2% systematic uncertainty and is used to calculate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμK+K−=(19.33±0.40)×10−10, and to obtain the ϕ(1020) meson parameters. We consider the relationship between the e+e−→K+K− and e+e−→KS0KL0 cross sections and compare it to the theoretical prediction.
Automatic milking systems (AMS) are installed on a growing number of dairy farms worldwide. Management to support good udder health might be different on farms with an AMS compared with farms milking ...with a conventional milking system, as risk factors for mastitis on farms using an AMS may differ. The aim of this study was to identify farm level factors associated with mastitis on Dutch dairy farms using an AMS. In 2008, risk factor data were collected using a questionnaire combined with on-farm recordings of cow, stall, and AMS hygiene on 135 farms. These risk factor data were linked to 4 udder-health-associated dependent variables: average herd somatic cell count (HeSCCav), variance of the average herd somatic cell count (SCC) on test days (HeSCCvar), the average proportion of new high SCC cases (NHiSCC), and the farmer-reported annual incidence rate of clinical mastitis (IRCM). We employed regression models using multiple imputation to deal with missing values. Due to the high dimensionality of the risk factor data, we also performed nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA) and regressed the dependent variables on the principal components (PC). Good hygiene of cows and of AMS were found to be related to a lower HeSCCav and less NHiSCC. Effective postmilking teat disinfection was associated with a lower NHiSCC. A higher bulk tank milk SCC threshold for farmers' action was related to more NHiSCC. Larger farm size was related to lower HeSCCvar but higher NHiSCC. Negative attitude of farmers to animal health, higher frequency of checking AMS, and more time spent on viewing computer data were all positively related to higher IRCM. An NLPCA with 3 PC explained 16.3% of the variance in the risk factor variables. Only the first 2 PC were associated with mastitis. The first PC reflected older and larger farms with poor cow hygiene and AMS hygiene, and was related to higher HeSCCav and NHiSCC, whereas the second PC reflected newly built smaller farms with poor cow hygiene and low milk production, and was associated with higher HeSCCvar and NHiSCC, but lower IRCM. Our study suggests that many of the risk factors on conventional milking system farms are applicable to AMS farms, specifically concerning hygiene of the cows and the milking machine, but on large AMS farms, udder health may need more attention than on smaller AMS farms. Multiple imputation is instrumental to deal with missing values and NLPCA is a useful technique to process high dimensional data in our study.
In future electron-positron colliders, such as FC-ee and CEPC, it is planned to accurately measure the beam energy by resonance depolarization. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach based ...on the rapid resonant rotation of the spins into the horizontal plane of the ring and their subsequent free rotation around the equilibrium vertical direction. The frequency of free coherent spin precession is proposed to be measured by the beats of the number of scattering events of electrons interacting with circularly polarized laser light. Fourier analysis of the number of electrons dropped out of the ring aperture to determine the frequency of free precession. In this paper, spin dynamics is simulated at all stages of the process, taking into account synchrotron oscillations and energy diffusion, and statistical estimates of the accuracy of determining the frequency of spin precession for beam parameters in FCC-ee are made.

. As part of the physical program, it is proposed to carry out the experiment by measuring the Weinberg running weak mixing angle for the J/ψ meson energy. Due to the smallness of the predicted effect, it is necessary to exclude the influence of systematic errors from unpredictable changes in the magnet lattice and the beam background. To do this, we have to organize frequent changes in sign of the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the interaction point. In this paper we have investigated the possibility of the spin-flip using the spin RF-rotator in a colliding electron ring with three Siberian snakes. Based on the simulation results, conclusions about the possibility of using this approach are made.
The process e+e−→K+K−η has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.59 to 2.007 GeV using the data sample of 59.5 pb−1, collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider ...in 2011, 2012 and 2017. The K+K−η final state is found to be dominated by the contribution of the ϕ(1020)η intermediate state. The cross section of the process e+e−→ϕ(1020)η has been measured with a systematic uncertainty of 5.1% on the base of 3009 ± 67 selected events. The obtained cross section has been used to calculate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon: aμϕη(E<1.8GeV)=(0.321±0.015stat±0.016syst)×10−10, aμϕη(E<2.0GeV)=(0.440±0.015stat±0.022syst)×10−10. From the cross section approximation the ϕ(1680) meson parameters have been determined with better statistical precision, than in previous studies.
The process e+e−→K+K−π+π− has been studied in the center-of-mass energy range from 1500 to 2000 MeV using a data sample of 23 pb−1 collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider. ...Using about 24 000 selected events, the e+e−→K+K−π+π− cross section has been measured with a systematic uncertainty decreasing from 11.7% at 1500–1600 MeV to 6.1% above 1800 MeV. A preliminary study of K+K−π+π− production dynamics has been performed.
